Topic: 3D-printing costs calculations app

Hello everyone!
I need your opinion on my recently developed app for  3D-printing costs calculations with the use of such parameters as filament type/diameter, price markup, etc. It's free (of course) and without any advertising:

Maybe it needs to be improved in some way? What features or options would you like to see? smile Please give some advices!

Re: 3D-printing costs calculations app

Nice work. I would add a "Custom" option that allows users to enter the density themselves. New filaments are made all the time and you never know what people might want to add. Perhaps even generalize the interface a bit and allow people to add/remove anything they wish. This would involve putting all the existing densities in a database, but it wouldn't be that significant of a change.

Also, in doing prints, my time spent personally is always larger than the cost of the material. So perhaps add in the ability to tell it how long a print job is and what your hourly rate is.
